Long-term commitment
The work with the dog did not stop once the pups were born. There would still be more to do. One of the senior technicians also felt that there was something very wrong about this pregnancy, and it needed to be fixed right away.
What to do in a crisis
Currently, there are many options being discussed to deal with this situation. Some options seemed more appealing than others. They thought about transporting the pup to a different station and recruiting a new volunteer. Also, they considered euthanizing the dog. Although it was sad that this option was offered, it was necessary.
